France vs Wales Six Nations 2023 live stream: Preview
France absolutely humiliated England at Twickenham last time out in the 2023 Six Nations, inflicting the hosts’ heaviest home defeat in over 150 years of English rugby history. Today's opponents had something of a turn in fortunes last weekend too when the second coming of coach Warren Gatland got underway with a win.
Wales went to Rome last weekend and returned with their first win of the campaign, a result that’s sure to boost confidence ahead of this meeting with France. Gatland has made a further six changes today, leading with experience instead of the risk of damaging the confidence of young players against an impressive Les Bleus.
Returning to the backs are Dan Biggar, George North, Louis Rees-Zammit and Nick Tompkins. Lock forward Alun Wyn Jones and flanker Aaron Wainwright also get starts.
Prop Uini Atonio returns from suspension to start for France. Romain Taofifenua replaces the injured Paul Willemse in the pack.
France vs Wales kicks off at 2.45pm GMT / 10.45am EST, today, Saturday 18th March, at the Stade de France. Make sure you know how to watch a France vs Wales live stream from anywhere.
